Music blogging! My colleague/homegirl Liz Pelly's piece on James Blake in the Boston Phoenix is making the rounds of the muzik blogz today. P4k pulls out this lulzy quote via Blake's butthurt soul. "Y U no sad like me, brostep?" he said. Basically.
“I think the dubstep that has come over to the US, and certain producers-- who I can't even be bothered naming-- have definitely hit upon a sort of frat-boy market where there's this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel. And to me, that is a million miles away from where dubstep started. It's a million miles away from the ethos of it. It's been influenced so much by electro and rave, into who can make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound, almost like a pissing competition, and that's not really necessary. And I just think that largely that is not going to appeal to women. I find that whole side of things to be pretty frustrating, because that is a direct misrepresentation of the sound as far as I'm concerned.”
Kind of hard to decide who to side with here. On the one hand, broz wobblin with their shirts off and shit on a hella aggressive daterapestep vibe is pretty annoying, but on the other hand, James Blake's music is literally some of the most boring shit I have ever only kind of listened to once or twice, which if we're being honest, is certainly not enough to base a definitive over the top opinion about, but it's the internet so who's going to do anything about it? You? You think you're better than me? Let's fucking rage, bro.
In entirely unrelated news, Korn are making a dubstep album, reports NME. That's weird, the reporter should have said to them during the interview, before hanging up.
The band will release the album on December 5 and have confirmed that the album will be comprised entirely of songs made with dubstep producers.
Korn have already released one single from the album 'Get Up', which has been produced by Skrillex, and have revealed that they have also worked with producers Excision, Datsik, Noisia, Kill the Noise, and 12th Planet on the album.
The band confirmed to NME earlier this summer that they were making a full length dubstep album, with bassist Fieldy revealing that frontman Jonathan Davis had persuaded the band to do it.
Jonathan loved it [dubstep] and he just got us into it. We feel it's important to stay current and keep on top of what's going on.
And that was the end of that.

WHAT DO U GUYZ THINK? IS THIS A HUGE BLOW TO LEGITIMACY OF DUBSTEP?
First they gave us nu metal buttrock-core and now we have to hear this? No thanks.
I don't even really know anymore if I don't like Korn. Is the K still backwards?
Let's Fucking Rape!
Get me ten thousand yellow hats with that phrase and we'll make a killing!
